Scene 8
The grasp of the miserable Creature

Three nights passed without tension.
On the fourth night, a Call Came on Robert's Smartphone in the meantime. Jorge felt unwell due to Sea sickness. Robert picked up the call nervously. It was Aunt Emma on the other side of the
call.

Emma: Hello! Am I Speaking to Robert?

Robert: Yes Aunty,

Emma: Actually, Jorge didn't pick up my call... is he okay? And how are you spending your School campaign?

Robert: Don't worry Aunty, Jorge's Smartphone was in my bag in silent mode that's why you couldn't contact him. And everything is going swiftly and freshly, our friends are also satisfied with the environment. You needn't worry about us. We are about to sleep.

Emma: Okay, never mind, stay safe. Oh by the way, Can I get to talk to Jorge?

Robert: Aunty, he is in a different dorm at the camp and I think he has already slept.

Emma: Oh okay! Kindly tell him to do his work carefully.

Robert:  Okay, Good night Aunity.

Emma: Good night.

(the conversation ended)

A Sudden Jerk completely turned the night into a disaster. Robert wondered whether the boat had collided with a huge sea rock.

He came out of the cabin to the small dock, to see what was happening outside. His eyes became petrified upon seeing the scene.

A huge monster was in front of his sight. After a while, he identified the demon. It was a giant Octopus that had blocked the way with its tentacles and it was looking like it was about to eat the boat. Robert was so shocked that he had forgotten to call others.

He picked up a rowing stick and began to attack its one tentacle which was nearby to him.

After getting a nimble constant strike at its tentacle. The Octopus spotted the minor boy who was making this nuisance. Raged by anger the giant was about to attack him. Suddenly someone pulled him from back and Robert spotted that IT WAS JORGE!

Robert: Jorge?

Jorge:Don't worry Rob! I...am..here.

Robert: Go back! You are ill!
Jorge: Shut up! you nonsense! If anything happens to you then what would I answer to Aunty and Uncle? My life... is external to them and myself also; you are precious.

(Jorge again pulled Robert to his side to save him from the tentacles)

Jorge: Stupid! This is not the place for chit-chatting, let's head back to the cabin! Indy is trying to switch on the extreme mode as this would help us.

Robert: Extreme mode ?... what is that?

[Jorge didn't care about Robert's question instead he forcibly pulled and push Robert and himself to the cabin respectively and locked the door.]

Robert: What have you done !Our boat...

Indy: Extreme mode is enabled !! Pay attention, my friends!!!

[All felt a sudden quake is the if it was dancing. Even the monster was confused that to it started making Shrills ]

Indy: let's go to the control room!

[when they came the room was changed]

Indy: Welcome to the Maxwell Battle Hound.

[ They saw that the raft deck was enlarged into a  medium steamer dock  and there were light sources which identified the Octopus' appearance ]

[ It was a cherry-coloured terrible-looking octopus with slight blue Spots
on its tentacles. Its tentacles were holding and stopping the front part of the ship and they noticed that one of the tentacles was bleeding, probably due to the inconvenient drifting of the boat at the wrong time]

Robert: Look! The bleeding tentacle!Which is due to us...

Jorge: So it's now transformed into a battle steamer, so use the missiles and weapons.

Robert: Please don't do I It may have family

Jorge: who cares? kill it now! It hurt you.

Robert: Don't do Indy.
Jorge: Kill it! it's my orders

Robert: No! Don't do it!

Indy: Please fast otherwise we will be drowned! Or its reinforcement will banish us.

Jorge: Give me the Control pad Indy!

[Jorge was about to fire but Robert pressed a button tagged "Overheat". Suddenly a jerk,  which also jerked off Jorge his seat, and Robert took the controller and tactfully steered the small ship. It was miraculously seen that

the monster fearfully removed its tentacles and a huge amount of vapours misted around the creature]

Jorge: shit! I lost the chance of firing!

Robert: Octopuses are quite being endangered day by day and this huge one is among the seas ! we should not kill them playfully.

Jorge: Sorry!

Robert: So this is the battleship huh? Steamer-sized boat !

Indy: we are heading the rest path in this form of the boat okay?

Robert: when will we reach?

Indy: we are quite close to our destination. The boat is in fast mode! Faster than the fastest sea vehicle! Otherwise, we will reach this boat, I think 2-2½ months or more!

Robert: That's great.

Jorge: But why the Octopus withdrew the tentacles?

Indy: which button did you press?

Robert: A button tagged "Overheat"?


Indy: Seriously?... It heats the whole outer shell portion of the boat, that's good for this situation but would be bad for creating streams. We may not see through due to the steams vapours.

Jorge: What to do now?

Indy: I turned off it. Now we have no worries!

Robert: Hakuna Matata!
